Establishing National RSV Surveillance and Building Burden of Disease Evidence for Public Health Action – Experiences from India

This webinar will provide an opportunity to learn from India’s experience in establishing and expanding an integrated national respiratory virus surveillance network within the GISRS framework, with a particular focus on RSV surveillance. The webinar will also present early findings from India’s multi-site RSV Burden of Disease study and discuss how surveillance and burden-of-disease evidence can inform RSV prevention policies and public health decision-making.

There will be two presentations:

Dr. Varsha Potdar, ICMR-National Institute of Virology, India
Building an Integrated National Respiratory Virus Surveillance Network: India’s Experience in Strengthening RSV Surveillance within GISRS

Dr. Sumit Bhardwaj, ICMR-National Institute of Virology, India
